For some, it's not about the journey, but the destination. To wit, for some gamers, they could care less about venturing through one of many stages: they just want to get to the boss and throw down.Endless Boss Fight lives up to its name by pitting the player, who takes on the guise of a small robot with boxing gloves, against a large and ever-evolving Boss Robot. Duck in, out, and around Boss's volley of various missile types to deliver a series of powerful body blows, then back out to gather coins and power-ups. Or, with the right timing, you can even punch Boss's warheads to reveal more coins, or to send his own ordnance right back at him."Rather than one long, endless encounter, the fights are more or less broken up into sequential rounds. Beat the Boss, and he'll duck out for a moment before coming back, sometimes with a new trick up his sleeve. Perhaps you were able to handle his coin-dropping and deflectable missiles, but can you stand up to his new electrified projectiles?Maybe, but then again, maybe not. Endless Boss Fight is a fun concept hampered by a critical flaw, and it's that the controls just aren't as reliable as you're going to need to truly go the distance. It's the same old song and dance that goes with touchscreen controls, and while Endless Boss Fight offers up three different ways to move around - a floating thumb stick, a stationary D-pad (our preference), and just moving your thumb across the screen freestyle - each one still manages to feel a bit sticky in one way or another.

Billed as "The Next Generation Slicing Game," KingHunt is here to serve as a fitting reminder of why Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja was such a huge hit, and to give us some food for thought on what a deeper "slicing" experience could really be like in 2013. The evil Chef has taken off across the kingdom, wreaking havoc on the world as only evil chefs can do, and you've been tasked to travel in his footsteps and stop him. In each level, hoards of enemies, items, and even food products will be tossed up in front of you, and it's your job to swipe on the screen and cut them all into tiny little pieces.Anyone who has ever played Fruit Ninja before will immediately feel right at home here in KingHunt, and it will only take newcomers to the genre a few seconds to get accustomed to the game too, for that matter; all you have to do is swipe your finger on the screen to slice stuff up, and away you go! In addition to the addictive slicing gameplay, KingHunt also benefits from paying close attention to the smaller details, like the different aftereffects of the enemies and objects you'll be chopping up: fruits will explode in delicious bouts of juice and seeds, while birds will burst in a giant cloud of feathers. But be careful though: there will also be plenty of bombs thrown into the mix, and later enemies can even slice back at you, which will deplete your health meter in a real hurry."The graphics in KingHunt are just as much a highlight as the pitch-perfect gameplay and simple slicing controls. Everything you can slice in the game is positively bursting with color and flavor, from the mouthwatering 3D fruits, cakes, and veggies, to the adorable little villains and quirky boss fights (which are an insanely awesome touch, by the way). The different environments that you'll move through are wonderfully vast and unique, and each one has their own respective enemies and items that adhere to its fun and refreshing theme: from deserts and swamplands, to snowy castles and caves, I was constantly surprised to see how many new and exciting levels continued to pop up on the vibrant world map during my pursuit of the ever-evasive Chef.

One of my favorite Nintendo 3DS games of the year has made the surprise transition over to PC, meaning that those people who don't own the latest Nintendo handheld can finally see what all the fuss is about. SteamWorld Dig really is as fantastic as you've heard, and it is very much in your best interest to grab a copy as soon as possible.Imagine the world of Terraria, crossed with the ability-collecting nature of the Super Metroid series, and then coated in the most gorgeous HD visuals for good measure. SteamWorld Dig will engross you from start to finish, and most likely you'll need to dedicate an entire evening to the experience, since it's rather difficult to pull yourself away until the credits have rolled.You are an old mining steambot called Rusty, and you've been left at an old mine out in the middle of nowhere by your late uncle. Upon arriving, you discover that the town of Tumbleton, where your mine can be found, is rather empty and desolate. You also discover, however, that your mine contains oodles of wonderful secrets and treasures - and you begin to use these treasures to help Tumbleton grow into a town to be proud of.When you start out, all you have is a rusty old pickaxe that can barely smash through rock. However, as you dig deep into the randomly-generated underground caverns, you begin to dig up treasures and resources which can be sold in town - the money can then be used to buy upgrades and powers for Rusty, such that you can dig even deeper and find even more exciting bits and bobs.
World of Tanks is, to put it bluntly, a phenomenon. While offering a different style of gameplay, I wouldn't hesitate to call World of Tanks as popular as other free-to-play multiplayer offerings like League of Legends or DOTA 2. And like those games, it was only a matter of time until somebody decided to take this winning formula mobile.The "somebody" in this case isn't World of Tanks creators Wargaming.net (whose own mobile version, World of Tanks Blitz, was announced back in March), but Game Insight - a top developer of free-to-play games for the casual mobile market.2013 has seen something of a change in focus for Game Insight. The company that was built on the success of games like Mystery Manor and The Tribez has been voraciously pursuing the midcore sector with releases like Dragon Eternity and Starborn Wanderers. Tank Domination isn't just their latest foray into market; it's their biggest and boldest gamble yet.And yes, it's one that pays off.
EA's Dragon Age series supplies an in-depth fantasy world that goes way beyond stories about noble heroes and evil dragons. The Dragon Age wiki contains thousands of pages with reams of information about Grey Wardens, archdemons, and Darkspawn. It stands to reason, then, that Dragon Age fans would love the supplementary story material in Heroes of Dragon Age. That may be the case, but the hands-off combat and rapidly-depleting energy system might actually send them packing for a more exciting region of Thedas.Heroes of Dragon Age plays a good deal like many of the digital collectable card games available on the App Store and Google Play, which is an interesting thing to say because there isn't a card to be seen in-game. Instead of the usual static illustrations of warriors and sorcerers, you command small, animated figurine-like heroes and creatures from the Dragon Age universe. That means you can expect to have standard archers and mages at your command, but you may also command a Darkspawn or a demon or three."Heroes of Dragon Age's campaign stretches across several scenarios that link together to tell previously-unexplored stories from the overarching Dragon Age mythos. Each scenario pits you against the bad guys, but since this is Dragon Age, "bad guys" is a very nebulous term. Either way, you're on the left, the enemy is on the right, and if you don't knock down your target before they clobber you, you'll be sent limping home.
